Explanation:

Let’s break down the order step by step:

- Given statements:

A < Z = P > Q < L = M < R = S

- Rearranged for clarity:

S = R > M = L > Q < P = Z > A

- Now, let’s examine the conclusions:

- I. M > P

From the chain: M = L > Q < P

But from M = L > Q, there’s no direct relationship between M and P—Q < P isolates P from the M side, so we *cannot* confirm M > P.

- II. L < S

L = M < R = S

So L = M < S

Which directly means L < S is definitely true.

- Options analysis:

1. Only I follow – No

2. Only II follow – Yes

3. Either I or II follow – No

4. Neither I nor II – No

5. Both I and II follow – No

Correct Answer: Option 2 – Only II follow
